Through Heaven's Eyes
A single thread in a tapestrythough its color brightly shinescan never see its purposein the pattern of the grand designAnd the stone that sits up on the very topof the mountain's mighty facedoesn't think it's more importantthan the stones that forms the baseSo how can you see what your life is worthor where your value liesyou can never see through the eyes of manyou must look at your lifelook at your life through heaven's eyeslai-la-lai
A lake of gold in the desert sandis less than a cool fresh springAnd to one lost sheep, a sheperd boyis greater than the richest kingShould a man lose everything he ownshas he truly lost his worthor is it the beginningof a new and brighter birthSo how do you measure the worth of a manin wealth or strength or sizeIn how much he gained or how much he gaveThe answer will come, the answer will come to him who triesto look at his life through heaven's eyes
And that's why we share all we have with youthough there's little to be foundWhen all you've got is nothingthere's lots to go aroundNo life can escape being blown aboutby the winds of change and chanceand though you never know all the stepsyou must learn to join the danceyou must learn to join the dancelai-la-laiSo how do you judge what a man is worthBy what he builds or buysYou can never see with your eyes on earthLook through Heaven's eyes, look at your lifeLook at your lifeLook at your life through Heaven's eyes
